MVC-70E/EW — GENERAL INFORMATION

Definition of Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVC-70E/EW is a walk behind, plate compactor designed for the compaction of sand, mixed soils and asphalt. This plate compactor is a powerful compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force in consecutive high frequency vibrations to a soil surface. Its applications include compacting for road, embankments and reservoirs as well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.

The MVC-70E/EW is small and lightweight. It can be easily handled by one person in confined areas. It has an accessible front-mounted vibrator assembly. The sealed belt cover keeps dir and rocks away from the belt.

Vibratory Plate

The vibratory plate of the compactor produces low amplitude high frequency vibrations, designed to compact granular soils and asphalt.

The resulting vibrations cause forward motion.The engine and handle are vibration isolated from the vibrating plate.

Frequency/Speed

The compactor's vibrating plate has a frequency of 5,600 vpm (vibrations per minute). The travel speed of the compactor is approximately 82 ft./minute (25 meters/minute).

Engine

The Mikasa MVC-70E/EW Plate Compactor is equipped with a ROBIN EX170D40050 gasoline engine.

Controls

Before starting the MVC-70E/EW Plate Compactor identify and understand the function of the controls and components as indicated Figure 3.

WARNING
